About Harley & Rose

West Footscray locals head to Harley & Rose for blistered wood-fired pies and nostalgic European comfort. The room carries a retro Croatian club hum with wooden floors and an open kitchen, but diners know to start at the table with creamy stracciatella on rosemary garlic bread and a bowl of salted cod dip. Thin crusts leave the oven sporting charred edges, whether topped with fennel sausage or charred broccoli, and gluten-free bases get the same wood-fired care. Regulars know the midweek drill—Tuesday parma plated beside spicy pomodoro pasta, or Wednesday lasagna—before spilling into the backyard patio under the festoon lights.

  • Wood-Fired Pizzas: Thin-crust pies emerge blistered from the wood oven, with toppings from fennel sausage to broccoli alongside dedicated gluten-free bases.
  • Retro Atmosphere: Wooden floors and an open kitchen channel retro energy indoors, backed by a leafy rear courtyard and an upstairs private Green Room.
  • Midweek Specials: Regulars plan their week around Tuesday chicken parma served with pasta and Wednesday lasagna specials.
  • Attentive Service: Staff effortlessly handle large parties, dietary needs, and smooth table moves into warm indoor corners when weather shifts.

Why Dine at Harley & Rose

Wood-fired craft, dedicated group spaces, and recurring neighborhood dinner traditions in West Footscray.

  • Craft Wood-Fired Crusts and Inclusive Bases

    Pizzas are prepared in a wood-fired brick oven with beautifully blistered crusts, alongside standouts like the broccoli pizza and dedicated gluten-free bases.

    I haven’t actually tried non GF bases but the GF bases here are elite.

  • Inventive Toppings and Signature Pies

    Beyond classic Neapolitan styles, the kitchen crafts inventive toppings including fungus pizza, broccoli with anchovies, and four cheeses with truffle.

    Highly recommend the broccoli pizza with anchovies; broccoli was crunchy and the tangy parmesan worked great with it.

  • Private Celebrations in The Green Room

    Gatherings and milestone celebrations are accommodated in the dedicated upstairs private event space known as The Green Room.

    We had a 40th birthday lunch celebration in the green room. The service was fantastic, the room was beautifully set, there was plenty of drinks flowing and so much delicious food.

  • Effortless Backyard Group Dining

    Large parties enjoy seamless hospitality, sharing generous spreads of pastas, flatbreads, and pizzas in the spacious backyard with proactive, attentive floor care.

    Harley and Rose hosted our group of approximately 20 people in their beautiful backyard area, and the experience was nothing short of fantastic.

  • Tuesday Parma Night Tradition

    Midweek cravings are answered with Tuesday Chicken Parma night, served piping hot with either spicy pomodoro pasta or slaw and chips.

    we're here on Parma night and both variations (with Spicy Pomodoro Pasta or Slaw and Chips) have been unreal.

  • Midweek Lasagna and Event Traditions

    Regular calendar events like Wednesday Lasagna night give neighborhood diners dependable reasons to skip cooking during the workweek.

    There are food events that we look forward to, for example Lasagna night on Wednesdays or the Sunday Suckling Pig Roasts held on the last Sunday of every month.

Beloved wood-fired pizzas and weeknight specials that anchor the neighborhood menu

  • Chicken Parma special

    Really great parmas, and on Tuesday, they're only $20! Nice size, well cooked, juicy and moist inside, crusty and gooey on the outside like a parma should be.

Beyond the menu

Thoughtful hospitality details and attentive touches that elevate the dining experience at Harley & Rose.

  • Proactive Cold-Weather Table Transitions

    When outdoor temperatures drop during backyard gatherings, staff proactively re-seat parties indoors by clearing and setting up a warm indoor space without hesitation.

  • Tailored Ingredient Adjustments for Allergies

    Staff pay close attention to diners with allergies and severe dietary restrictions, actively altering ingredients to safeguard needs while ensuring modified dishes remain full of flavor.

  • Table-Side Group Bill Processing

    Staff come directly to large gathering tables with portable EFTPOS machines to handle group billing smoothly without breaking up the party.

  • Front-Row Pizza Oven Entertainment for Kids

    Tables positioned directly next to the open wood-fired oven allow kids to watch the chefs prepare fresh pizzas up close.

Before you head over

Practical dining advice to make the most of your visit to Harley & Rose.

  • Book Ahead for Peak Nights

    The dining room fills quickly on weekends and themed weeknights like Tuesday Parma Night, so reserve a table ahead or place takeaway orders online in advance.

  • Inquire About Dietary Swaps

    The kitchen easily accommodates coeliacs and diners with allergies, offering dedicated gluten-free bases for their wood-fired pizzas and modified dishes.

  • Choose Seating to Match the Noise Level

    With an open kitchen and vibrant crowds, the dining space can get loud; request seating in the back outdoor courtyard or backyard area for a more relaxed setting.
